Bounce Lighting
The fl ash head can be tilted so that the light from the
fl ash is refl ected from a ceiling or wall for softer, more
natural lighting or to illuminate the area behind your
subject.
The fl ash head can be tilted by as
much as 90° up, 10° down, 135° left,
and 180° right. The head locks at 0°
and 90° up; when moving it up or
down from these positions, keep the
bounce latches on the sides of the
fl ash head pressed. The bounce status indicator ( or )
is displayed while bounce lighting is in eff ect.
O
The fl ash may not adequately light the subject if the distance
between the unit and the refl ective surface is too great. If the
image is underexposed, try choosing a lower f-number (larger
aperture) or higher ISO sensitivity.
The light from the fl ash may take on the color of the surface
from which it is refl ected.
Photographing Nearby Subjects
Tilt the fl ash head down 10° when photo-
